What Does a Motor Vehicle Dealer Bond Protect Against?
The surety bond protects those who may be damaged by the dealer’s violations or non-compliance with applicable language in Sections 32 and Section 40 of the Code of Alabama 1975.
In the event that a third party sustains financial losses due to the dealer’s violations, the surety company may be liable for reimbursement up to the full bond amount of $25,000. The bond principal provides indemnity to the surety company for any losses paid out to third parties. This bond is continuous until canceled by the surety company by providing 60 days advance written notice to the Alabama Department of Revenue.
